"This silver hairpin was made for me by Yulang. When he gave it to me for the first time, it was still very rough, so he said to polish it better and give it to me." Mu Nanzhi stroked the hairpin with both hands, and his eyes were soft.
"As a man, he doesn't seem to do anything well. Reading, cooking and even making a hairpin are rough. " Mu Nanzhi murmured and suddenly looked at the hairpin and laughed. Then he wiped his tears from the corner of his eyes and said with emotion, "but he is so persistent that he always does things repeatedly that he can't do well..."
Before he finished speaking, mu Nanzhi stopped talking. The silver hairpin was carefully wrapped in a pink handkerchief and put into my arms, which was the closest to the heart.
Did Zheng Congyu not make a slip of the tongue and really abandon mu Nanzhi?
Wen jinniang and Liang Yun stood aside and thought quietly that since they found the silver hairpin left by Zheng Congyu at the gate of the city, that is to say, Zheng Congyu had come to the gate of the city to see mu Nanzhi.
But later, mu Nanzhi didn't see Zheng Congyu. Was it because something urgent happened to him at that time?
"No, it shouldn't be." Liang Yun shook his head and denied Wen jinniang's idea.
If Zheng Congyu wants to see mu Nanzhi, even if he leaves because of something, he won't hide from her for so many days. Well, he loves people who want to be together most.
That's not the case. Why did Zheng Congyu disappear suddenly for no reason?
Wen jinniang and Liang Yun couldn't figure it out. They had no choice but to call all the people together again and concentrate on searching the trees on the ground.
When they were looking for Zheng Congyu, they didn't check the city gate very carefully. After all, Zheng Congyu didn't meet mu Nanzhi, so he probably won't be at the city gate again.
But now, all kinds of signs show that Zheng Congyu's disappearance should have something to do with the city entrance.
We can search more than ten people, less than two kilometers, for an hour, and finally we got nothing.
However, Liang Yun and Wen jinniang both think that all this will be broken again and become a case that cannot be investigated. Not far away, another, interesting thing happened.
The family living in Chengkou went to the County Yamen to find the manager of Liangfu County Yamen. They wanted to complain to Wen jinniang and Liang Yun. Recently, the water source that they rely on for generations has become dark, and even has a faint smell of putrefaction. It smells like something rotted in a well.
It's such a thing that makes Wen jinniang and Liang Yun have a certain understanding of this complicated matter.
"Has the water changed its smell? Does it smell rotten..." Liang Yun said slowly, thinking.
A corpse rots for two to three days in early summer. If the body is thrown in the cold well water, it will be much cooler and the decay time of the body will be prolonged.
Mu Nanzhi pretended to be dead, and then Zheng Congyu disappeared. It really took about six days. After calculation, it could rot, and the whole well water was polluted.
At the thought of this, Zheng Congyu might have died and was in the well at the entrance of the city.
"Come on, let's go and have a look." After Liang Yun thought about it, without saying a word, he directly took Wen jinniang, who didn't know much about it, and ran to the water well at the entrance of the city.
"Liang Yun, what's the matter? What are you doing... "Wenjinniang picked eyebrows, some subconsciously want to break away from the shackles, but found that Liang YUNZHUO himself caught dead, simply can't earn it.
……
The well at Chengkou is not hard to find, and it is only two or three kilometers away from Chengkou. This well was older than before Liang Yun, and the magistrate ordered it to be drilled.
Now, decades later, fewer and fewer people are drinking from the well, leaving only one or two families nearest to the city gate still using the well water.
The wellhead is very big. In order to prevent the branches and dust from entering the well water, people nearby brought a huge stone to block most of the wellhead. There is only a small place left to put the bucket down and lift the water up.
But now when Wen jinniang and Liang Yun look at it, they find that there are some traces that have been moved under the mossy stone. The trace is still fresh, which indicates that the well has only been moved for a short time.
Liang Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the villagers at the entrance of the city who followed him. He asked suspiciously, "uncle, have you ever moved that stone recently?"
"Stone? No, the stone is very heavy. " The man looked at the stone and scratched the back of his head. He didn't know why.
"Most of our young people have gone outside, and few of them have been able to open the stone, which hasn't been moved for several years."
Liang Yun nodded and then touched the mossy stone. His hands tightly clasped the two sides of the stone. After a deep breath, the stone was easily removed like tofu. It took at least two men to move the stone.
However, at this moment, there are not many people to pay attention to the weight of this stone.
The next second after the big stone was removed, a turbid smell came out. It's rotten and sour, with the smell of dead fish. Wenjinniang was disgusted by the sudden smell, and it took a long time to slow down. After slowing down, Wen jinniang looks at Liang Yun on one side. They both have a dignified look.
Liang Yun and Wen jinniang are very familiar with this flavor. After so many ups and downs, this kind of scene is also more natural.
This kind of bad smell is clearly emitted when the corpse decomposes. There is a corpse hidden in this well!
"Bring the contents up!" Liang Yun stood in front of Wen jinniang. She looked serious and said, "be light. The body may have been soaked too long and softened."
Several captors quickly nodded and slowly pulled up the body with the bad smell. The corpse is as like as two peas in Liang Yun's saying, because the time of soaking in the water is too long, and the whole body has been blown to the same extent as a big water radish. Face, legs are more than one or two times larger than normal, white hair wrinkle, already can not see who is.
Wen jinniang and Liang Yun frowned and approached the body. Wen jinniang looked at the body carefully, and there was no obvious wound on the body. There were only a few pinch marks and bruises on the arm. But these can't lead to the death of the body. Wen jinniang checked it again, and then found that there was a wound on the back of the body's head that was no longer bleeding, which was the fatal wound that led to his death.
"Let Nanzhi come here and see if this person is Zheng Congyu..." Wen jinniang said faintly. The corpse was soaked beyond recognition. She couldn't recognize who it was. But if it's mu Nanzhi, they will recognize that they love each other so much.
